Today on Bruins Daily

The Bruins look to bounce back from an atrocious performance Thursday night in Buffalo and tame the lowly Sabres tonight at the TD Garden. We will of course have you updated on Twitter at @BruinsDaily and don’t forget to join the discussion using #DailyLive in your tweets.

The Sabres may have earned a victory over the Bruins two nights ago, but things are still pretty rough in Buffalo. With a new regime in place under President of Hockey Operations and Hockey Hall of Famer Pat LaFontaine and head coach Ted Nolan, who is serving his second stint with the Blue and Gold, the rebuilding process is well underway. Eventually, whenever LaFontaine names a new general manager, the Sabres will likely deal Ryan Miller and a handful of other veterans come trade deadline time.

For now its all about establishing a future that includes Marcus Foligno, Cody Hodgson (out for a few weeks due to injury) and Tyler Ennis (just to name a few) and doesn’t include John Scott, who was a healthy scratch Thursday night in the first meeting since the Loui Eriksson cheap shot. It will be awhile, though, when the Sabres jump back to relevancy in the National Hockey League.
